Bias Tank Refashion

I’ve got a super simple make to share with you today-my Bias Tank Refashion. So easy to alter but wow-what a difference.  It’s made this unworn dress into one of my favorite basic pieces in my wardrobe. I wear it ALL the time!

AFTER: Voile Bias tank

Fabric provided for review when I made the original dresses: Organic Cottons Plus  {Affiliate Link}

As you can see this dress was just too boxy (I must have cut it too wide) and the light color was not flattering in that length.  But cut to a top it’s perfect!  Really comfy too-the voile is lightweight and oh so soft.  The bias cut with the selvedge edging detail makes this simple tank really stand out.

Not much new here construction wise.  I cut off the excess length and hemmed. The excess was used in my Linen Swing Top as well.  I did a simple hem with a decorative stitch and called it a day.  You can read about how I made the original dresses here.

I really need more of these tops! On my “TO DO”  list for Spring!

For now it’s back to my Christmas sewing. I’m super excited to get back to it since I just received an early Christmas gift from my parents!  A new Cover-stitch machine!!!!  My mom told me this weekend to hold off on my sewing for a bit since she had a surprise for me coming in the mail. It came yesterday when my we were out at the Ballet.  (Lady of the Camillas – just beautiful!)  I can’t wait to try it out!  Thanks Mom!!!
